ARTICLE 3 UNION RECOGNITION AND SECURITY 3.1 The Employer recognizes the Union as the sole bargaining authority for all employees covered by this Agreement and coming within the jurisdiction of the Union. The Union recognizes that the Association is the sole bargaining authority for all subcontractors of the Employer covered by this Agreement and coming within the jurisdiction of the Union. 3.2 The Employer shall be the judge as to the competency of any employee, and shall have the right to discharge men for just cause. The Employer, if requested by the Union, shall provide a termination slip which shall state the reason for discharge or lay-off occurring prior to job completion and whether the employee is eligible for rehire. 3.3 All employees covered by this Agreement, as a condition of continued employment, shall, commencing on the eighth (8th) day following the beginning of such employment, or the effective date of this Agreement, whichever is later, acquire and maintain membership in the Union during the term of their employment. 3.4 Subject to the provisions of Art. 3.2 and Art. 5.8 hereof, the appointment of Journeymen to the capacities of Pipe, Welding, or Tie-in Foremen who shall be members of the Union, is the responsibility of the Employer. Such appointment shall not be interfered with by the Union. 3.5 The Employer recognizes the right of the Union to enforce its Constitution in that the Employer undertakes to provide all welding equipment and shall not employ any employee who provides any vehicle or equipment.

2013/2018 - 10 - UA-M

working dues, initiation fees, and assessments from the employee's pay. The Union will notify the Association in writing as to the amount of fees, dues and assessments to be deducted from the wages of employees from time to time. 3.8 All dues, fees and assessments so deducted shall be remitted to the Local Union not later than the twentieth (20th) of the month following, together with a list showing the amount deducted for each employee. 3.9 The Local Union's Business Manager shall, at the start of a job (i.e. rigging up for pipe operations) select one of its Journeymen members who shall be placed on the Employer's payroll and recognized as the Job Steward; such appointment to be confirmed by letter to the Employer. If the Steward selected by the Business Manager is objected to by the Employer for valid reason, the Business Manager shall select another Journeyman as Steward to whom the Employer has no reasonable objection. 3.10 The Job Steward shall perform his duties the same as any other Journeyman and shall not be discharged for Union activities. The Job Steward shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time during the working hours to perform the work of the Union but shall not abuse the privilege. On Mainline Pipeline jobs the Job Steward shall be the last Journeyman in his classification remaining on the job provided he is competent to perform the work to be completed. Where a main pipe gang and a poor boy pipe gang are used, an Assistant Steward may be selected, where warranted, as agreed upon between the Employer and the Union at the Pre-job Conference or by subsequent arrangement. The Assistant Steward shall report all matters of concern to the Job Steward who will deal with any problem or grievance with the representative of the Employer. Where, on a loop line construction job, crews are working out of separate warehouses or marshalling points, the Union shall have the right to appoint an Assistant Steward for and during the continuation of operations out of each separate warehouse or marshalling point. There shall be no non-working Job Steward or Assistant Stewards.

given to the available Employer's representative on the jobsite. 3.12 In the event of an illegal work stoppage by employees covered by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, those employees not performing work during the work stoppage shall not receive any compensation whatsoever for days not worked. 3.13 It is recognized that traditionally all work combined with, associated with or comprising an integral part of pipeline construction as defined in Article 1 hereof, comes solely within the trade jurisdiction of four International Unions, commonly referred to as the "pipeline craft unions" and their Local Unions which are affiliated with Building and Construction Trades Councils, AFL-CIO. The recognition of this historical precedent is hereby re-affirmed. 3.14 The Employer agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions in any of the other three pipeline crafts’ agreements, appendices or understandings, the assignment of any work shall be made in accordance with local area practice and Provincial Labour Board decisions. ARTICLE 4 JOB NOTIFICATION AND ENFORCEMENT 4.1 The Employer shall forward a job notification to the appropriate International Union Representative designated by the Union for the area involved and a copy to the Local Union(s) having territorial jurisdiction, immediately upon his knowledge of all work to be done by the Employer and/or all sub-contractors under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The job notification form to be used is attached to this Agreement as Addendum A. 4.2 The Employer and the Union shall hold a Pre-job Conference before the start of the job and the Union Representatives of the Local Unions in whose jurisdictional areas the work is being performed shall be authorized by the Union to represent the Union at the Pre-job Conference and establish those job arrangements stipulated in this Agreement for the duration and for the entire area covered by the job. The purpose of the Pre-job Conference shall be to define those matters outlined in the Pre-job Conference Report

which is attached to this Agreement as an Addendum, but not including the changing of any of the conditions of this Agreement nor any interpretation of any of its clauses. Any interpretation of this Agreement shall be made between the prime parties hereto so that the proper application thereof may be made on the job. 4.3 On work of insufficient volume to warrant a Pre-job Conference, those matters outlined in the Pre-job Conference Report may, by mutual agreement, be communicated between the Employer and the Union, as determined by the respective appendices attached hereto, prior to commencement of the work. 4.4 The Union will send a copy of this Agreement to each of its Local Unions having pipeline jurisdiction and the terms of this Agreement and none other shall be recognized by each Local Union and any Employer engaged in the same or similar work as defined in Article 1 hereof. 4.5 Notwithstanding the above, 4.4 does not apply to agreements that presently exist or to U.A. Local Unions who do not have pipeline jurisdiction assigned to them by the United Association. ARTICLE 5 HIRING PROCEDURE 5.1 Upon receipt of Job Notification from the Employer, the Local Union may, prior to the Pre-job Conference, provide the Employer with a list of available qualified Journeymen. 5.2 The Employer shall have the right to select twenty-five percent (25%) of the required Journeymen from any source provided such employees are members of the Union.

5.3 The ratio of employees selected from and supplied by the Local Union(s) shall be maintained throughout the project. 5.4 All employees supplied by the Local Union(s) must have had previous pipeline experience and be qualified to perform the work for which they have been requested; otherwise such employees will not be dispatched unless acceptable to the Employer. The Employer shall have the right to refuse any referral prior to dispatch provided the cause for such refusal shall not be unreasonable. 5.5 The Local Union shall be given forty-eight (48) hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays to supply the required employees but shall advise the Employer of expected delays in dispatching any employees within forty-eight (48) hours. Employees shall be entitled to Waiting Time or Reporting Time upon arrival at the jobsite on the day designated by the Employer for arrival, if no work is provided. 5.6 The portion of employees required by the Employer which the Local Union may be unable to supply as well as the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) required will be members of the Union when they are available. When qualified members of the Union are not available, other qualified Journeymen and Helpers may be hired subject to 3.3. The Employer shall, upon request, notify the Local Union of the names of all Journeymen hired under this provision. 5.7 In the event the Local Union is unable to supply qualified members, the Employer will provide every opportunity for any employee who has successfully completed a welding training course and is approved by a joint training committee to take a qualification test and, in the event that such employee completes the qualification test, the employee will be admitted to membership in the Local Union in accordance with 3.3. 5.8 The Foremen and Job Steward are excluded from the provisions of this Article. 5.9 The Employer shall have the right to retain the original crew once established throughout the territory covered by the job for which the Pre-job Conference was

held. The International Representative will designate the Local Union which will have jurisdiction. 5.10 The Employer shall have the right to re-start any interrupted job with the same crew laid off for Christmas or Spring breakup provided such shutdown extends no longer than a twenty-one (21) calendar day period or has been a subject of the Pre-job Conference and provided the laid-off employees are available for such re-start. Any additional and/or replacement Journeymen shall be engaged in accordance with 5.2. 5.11 The Employer and the Union agree to cooperate to encourage opportunities for local and aboriginal employment under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 5.12 The Employer shall have the right to recall eligible Local Union members for a period of up to six (6) months after layoff. The recall process ends for the Employer when it elects to hire an employee not eligible for recall. 5.13 Each employee shall present to the Employer, at commencement of employment, a valid Certificate of Completion of a computer-based Pipeline Construction Safety Training (PCST) program. ARTICLE 6 WORKING RULES 6.1 The Employer shall be the sole judge as to the number of employees required. It is recognized that the work of handling clamps, lining up of pipe and the making of joints is the work of the Union. In addition to the Welder Foreman, the Welders and their Helpers, the Employer shall be required to employ a minimum of five (5) Journeymen on jobs where pipe is greater than 14" in diameter, four (4) of whom shall be used in the pipe gang, and the fifth Journeyman to be used either in the pipe gang, bevelling ahead of the pipe gang, in the bending crew, in the tie-in crew, in stress relieving, or in preheating with oxy-acetylene torches; on pipe 14" in diameter or less the Employer shall be required to employ two (2) Journeymen other than the Welder Foreman, the Welders, and their Helpers; provided however, that in the event an inside clamp is being used on

pipe 14" in diameter and less, the Employer shall also be required to employ one (1) Helper. If outside clamps are used, a Welder Helper shall be assigned to handle such clamps. On pipelines of 14" in diameter or less, the operation of the bending mandrel and the handling of clamps shall be performed by a Helper. On pipelines of greater than 14" in diameter the handling of clamps and the operation of bending mandrels shall be performed by Journeymen. If any additional employees are needed, they shall be employed as Journeymen or Helpers depending on what work is involved. All tie-in crews shall employ one (1) Non-Welder Journeyman. 6.2 On small jobs when less than five (5) Welders are employed, the Welder Foreman will be allowed to work with the tools, at the discretion of the Employer. This provisions may be modified at the Pre-job Conference. 6.3 There shall be no inequitable minimum or maximum amount of work which an employee may be required to perform during the working day and there shall be no restrictions imposed against the use of any type of machinery, tools, or labour saving devices. 6.4 As mutually agreed between the Employer and the Local Union, employees may be changed from one classification to another within the jurisdiction of the Union. During emergencies, any employee of the Employer may be assigned to any work, provided, however, that no employee's hourly rate shall be lowered under this provision, and provided further that in the event an employee is assigned to work calling for a higher rate of pay he shall receive such higher rate. 6.5 Stringer bead and hot-pass welders and helpers can be required to weld back on incompleted welds, as long as their wage rate is not lowered. Such welders and helpers will be paid for the hours received by the pipe gang plus the hours engaged in welding back and there shall be no restriction as to the location where such "welding back" may begin. 6.6 In the event back welding of each weld is performed inside the pipe as a regular procedure, one welder will be selected each day to perform all of such back welding. This condition is not intended to apply to occasional
